This hopefully\nis the last rc before the final release (we had to make a last-minute UI\ntweak to a new feature in multi-step \"revert\" command to avoid later\nregrets). We already have interesting topics queued together with proposed\nfixes for older non-regression bugs which would make the next cycle short,\nsweet and fun.\n\nThe release tarballs are found at:\n\n    http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list\n\nand their SHA-1 checksums are:\n\n528b8099e980877eb7e2268be8afdf12efe13490  git-1.7.8.rc4.tar.gz\nf775ddd3ee207816840ced38c28d1a400a823536  git-htmldocs-1.7.8.rc4.tar.gz\nb35301ed60712f441a9c3af08446184faf624d51  git-manpages-1.7.8.rc4.tar.gz\n\nAlso the following public repositories all have a copy of the v1.7.8.rc4\ntag and the master branch that the tag points at:\n\n  url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git\n  url = https://code.google.com/p/git-core/\n  url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git\n  url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core\n  url = https://github.com/gitster/git\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v1.7.8-rc3 are as follows:\n\nJohannes Sixt (1):\n      Fix revert --abort on Windows\n\nJonathan Nieder (11):\n      do not let git_path clobber errno when reporting errors\n      notes merge: eliminate OUTPUT macro\n      Makefile: add missing header file dependencies\n      Makefile: add option to disable automatic dependency generation\n      revert: rename --reset option to --quit\n      revert: rearrange pick_revisions() for clarity\n      revert: improve error message for cherry-pick during cherry-pick\n      revert: write REVERT_HEAD pseudoref during conflicted revert\n      revert: introduce --abort to cancel a failed cherry-pick\n      revert: remove --reset compatibility option\n      revert --abort: do not leave behind useless sequencer-old directory\n\nJunio C Hamano (5):\n      name-rev --all: do not even attempt to describe non-commit object\n      Git 1.7.7.4\n      Hopefully final update of release notes before 1.7.8 final\n      Update 1.7.8 draft release notes in preparation for rc4\n      Git 1.7.8-rc4\n\nMarc-André Lureau (1):\n      mailmap: xcalloc mailmap_info\n\nNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (1):\n      revert: do not pass non-literal string as format to git_path()\n\nRamkumar Ramachandra (4):\n      http: remove unused function hex()\n      convert: don't mix enum with int\n      sha1_file: don't mix enum with int\n      git-compat-util: don't assume value for undefined variable\n\nRamsay Allan Jones (3):\n      t5501-*.sh: Fix url passed to clone in setup test\n      config.c: Fix a static buffer overwrite bug by avoiding mkpath()\n      convert.c: Fix return type of git_path_check_eol()\n\nThomas Hochstein (1):\n      documentation fix: git difftool uses diff tools, not merge tools.\n\nVincent van Ravesteijn (2):\n      builtin-branch: Fix crash on invalid use of --force\n      builtin-reset: Documentation update\n"}]}
